One thing I love about cryptocurrencies is that it has created an economic incentive to accelerate hardening of internet communication.
I wager that TOR would still be extremely slow without the dark net markets and payment rails.
The I2P stewards have similarly has been affiliated with several cryptocurrency projects. But The Monero team's Kovri implementation of I2P will be the best.
- arpstick 9y agoTor is fast because they have a birds eye view of the entire routing concensous where as i2p does not as it can not. The latency suffers as a result in i2p. That is why tor is faster, it's not because of coins. I have considered adding such a thing for i2pd optionally enabled but there is no such interest from the community to maintain such entities.
- apeace 9y agoDon't you think that clients' peer selection logic could be improved to build lower-latency tunnels? Perhaps an intuitive UI could be provided, allowing the user to tradeoff anonymity with latency.
- icahnvalyou 9y agoGet out of here with that segwit crap :P
- arpstick 9y agoI have such functionality in i2pd, what would help a lot are more hints on capacity bandwith and latency from the network. I added "aligned outbound tunnels" which make things MUCH more responsive and snappy. i think that lowering the latency on the network is probably the only way to make i2p faster again.
- ringaroundthetx 9y agoYeah this wasn't a post about TOR being faster than i2p, it was about TOR being faster than TOR used to be because people invested in better connections between nodes regionally.
